Grammy award winning Norah Jones admits that she finds Latina superstar Shakira 'hot', and that she's fascinated by the sexy Columbian singer.

The 27-year-old American singer said that though Shakira has a mass appeal, she still has a distinct aura around her.

Jones added that every time she tries karaoke, she sings the compositions by the 'Whenever Wherever' singer.

"She's hot. I like that she's this pop star, but she's also kind of unique and weird. I always sing Shakira when I karaoke," She told men’s magazine Maxim.

The 'Come Away With Me' star also said that her goal while singing is to seduce listeners, but unlike other pop stars, her style is to allure by whispering.

"When I'm singing, the goal is definitely to seduce, I'm not Beyonce (Knowles) or Christina (Aguilera). If I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you by whispering," she said.
